Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

\log(3x)+\log (x+4)=\log (15)

We need to solve the equation for x.

Using the product property of logarithm we get

\log(3x(x+4))=\log (15)            [\because \log (ab)=\log a+\log b]

\log(3x^2+12x)=\log (15)

On comparing both sides we get

3x^2+12x=15

3x^2+12x-15=0

Find factors using grouping method.

3x^2+15x-3x-15=0

3x(x+5)-3(x+5)=0

(x+5)(3x-3)=0

Using zero product property we get

x+5=0\Rightarrow x=-5

3x-3=0\Rightarrow x=1

For x=-5, 3x=-15 and log is not defined for negative values.

It means x=-5 is an extraneous solution.

Therefore, x=1 is the only valid solution of the given equation.

Answer:

The solutions are x = 1 and x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

First, let´s write the equation:

log(3x) + log(x + 4) = log(15)

Apply logarithm property: log(3x) = log(3) + log(x)

log(3) + log(x) + log(x + 4) = log(15)

Substract log(3) from both sides of the equation

log(x) + log(x+4) = log(15) - log(3)

Apply logarithm property: log(15) - log(3) = log(15/3) = log(5)

log(x) + log(x + 4) = log(5)

Apply logarithm property: log(x) + log(x+4) = log(x (x+4)) = log(x² + 4x)

log(x² + 4x) = log(5)

Apply logarithm equality rule: if log(x² + 4x) = log(5), then x² + 4x = 5

x² + 4x = 5

Substract 5 from both sides

x² + 4x - 5 = 0

Using the quadratic formula (a = 1, b = 4, c = -5)

x = 1 and x = -5

The solutions are x = 1 and x = -5

Have a nice day!

3. A restaurant bill of $350 was paid using $5 notes and $50 notes. The total number of
Sonbull [250]

The number of $5 notes is 10 and $50 notes is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of $5 notes

and

y be the number of $50 notes

Then according to given statements

"The total number of notes used was 16."

x+y=16    Eqn 1

"A restaurant bill of $350 was paid using $5 notes and $50 notes."

5x+50y=350       Eqn 2

From\ Eqn\ 1\\x+y=16\\y=16-x\\Putting\ y=16-x\ in\ equation\ 2\\5x+50(16-x)=350\\5x+800-50x=350\\-45x+800=350\\Subtracting\ 800\ from\ both\ sides\\-45x+800-800=350-800\\-45x=-450\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ -45\\\frac{-45x}{-45}=\frac{-450}{45}\\x=10

Putting x=10 in equation 1

10+y=16\\y=16-10\\y=6

So,

The number of $5 notes is 10 and $50 notes is 6

Vladimir [108]

Answer:
